Testimonials

As an architectural designer, I have had regular communication with the planners at Outlook Planning and Development and cannot fault them. They are always clear and concise with their requirements, and are more than knowledgeable in regards to Council regulations and applicable legislative criteria. If you are looking to clarity in your project and would prefer to work with planners who can take the initiative, look no further. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with these guys, and I look forward to many more forthcoming projects.
